South Africa has 17,450 empty teacher posts.

Not 17,450 teachers who couldn't be found.

17,450 posts that simply weren't filled.

Here's what makes it worse.

The Department of Basic Education's own National Recruitment Database has 12,700 qualified, unemployed educators actively looking for work right now. Trained teachers. Ready to teach. Sitting at home.

So this isn't a skills shortage. It's a system failure.

While those posts sit empty, South African learners are paying the price. Over 50% of primary school children are taught in classes of more than 40 pupils. Some Gauteng classrooms have 60 to 70 learners per teacher. KwaZulu-Natal averages 39 learners per teacher. These aren't schools.

They're holding pens.

The remaining teachers aren't doing fine either. Research from Stellenbosch University found that 44% of Grade R to Grade 12 teachers feel burned out "always or very often." Nearly half are considering leaving the profession within the next decade. And over 30,000 already left in just five years.

The pipeline is ageing too.

About 49% of current public school teachers are 50 or older. Retirement is coming. Fast.
We keep asking why matric results are what they are. Why Grade 4 learners can't read.

Why the system underperforms year after year.

The answer is standing right in front of us.

You can't build human capital in a classroom with 70 kids and one exhausted teacher.

The government wasn’t going to do anything about the illegal immigration if it wasn’t for March and March. I don’t think y’all realise how crazy that is.

The content are as follows:

📌 RE: REQUEST TO UPLIFT PROHIBITION IN TERMS OF SECTION 29(2) OF THE IMMIGRATION ACT

Your request to uplift the prohibition placed on your name has been considered and was unsuccessful due to the following reasons:

1. According to the Departmental System, your visitor's visa expired on 2013‑01‑27 and you failed to leave the Republic. Further, there is no record that you were ever issued with any type of visa.

2. There is no explanation given for your illegality from the date of expiry of your visitor's visa.

3. On 2018‑11‑28 you lodged an application for the change of conditions of your visa, in respect of which you submitted a fraudulent relative's visa.

4. On 2019‑11‑29 you submitted another application with VFS and attached a fraudulent study visa purportedly issued in Lagos — whereas all this time you were in the Republic. There is no explanation given for the study visa; in your representation you denied knowledge of the relative's visa.

5. There is no information or evidence tendered to support your claim from the person who acted on your behalf to prove he was not complicit in the acquisition of the fraudulent visas.

6. As a minor you relied on your parent, but the same parent failed to provide the Department with the sequence of events which led to the acquisition of the fraudulent visas.

7. In this case, there is a gross violation of the immigration laws of which someone has to be held accountable. (partially obscured by hand)

@mailandguardian you didn’t do you due diligence but that’s because you are always pushing an agenda! You got caught and exposed! Hence you folded and deleted the article.

South Africans, at what point do we admit that we have normalised failure?

How do we accept a system where citizens can lose up to 41% of their salaries to tax, yet corruption continues to thrive, rural roads remain undrivable, municipalities collapse, and local councillors operate with little to no accountability?

Taxation without visible service delivery is not governance; it is betrayal.

This country does not lack money. It lacks ethical leadership, consequence management, and political will. We cannot keep comparing ourselves to countries like Qatar and pretending the difference is luck. The difference is leadership, planning, discipline and accountability.

South Africa deserves a government that respects every rand taken from its people. The amount of tax we are paying is just insane😭💔

ANOTHER @SANDF_ZA VIDEO SURFACES :

Another video of @SANDF_ZA voicing their fustration against @MYANC led government.

It becomes clear now that some officials hate what @GovernmentZA is doing to South Africans. Choosing illegal foreigners over its people.

I guess time is now to fight against the oppression that @MYANC is subjecting our country and its people into.

We're doing this for our future generation.

😭😭😭

@mccall_crissy @keobone @SindiswaDube_ @fikile_monareng The parent, the child inherit from parent status. The child cannot apply for PR if the parent doesn't have PR.

[Thabiso R 🇵🇸 @tarbie_16]

@Osei_Tutu_A @SindiswaDube_ @fikile_monareng Immigration laws are public records. You just don't wanna know. If you pause that video you will see why he was denied

In the past couple of weeks JOURNALISTS have gone out of their way to vilify me for my activism! I’ve read things about myself that I know for a fact didn’t exist and I even found some of them in a group that claims it is anti-xenophobia yet the conversation is about me and how they will stop me!! The ring leaders are Daily Maverick, Ground Up, News 24 and Times Live and there are many more… I just want them to know that while you are busy obsessively making this illegal immigration issue about me, the issue is much bigger than me, much bigger than any of us! With or without me, South Africans are fed up of this fight for survival with immigrants.

South Africans have put up with enough and you will never hear them because you have decided who’s side you’re on instead of being responsible media outlets, you had an opportunity to even spread a message of hope and make those who must take accountability for the situation do so, both our government and the government of those immigrants who have flooded our country but instead you have decided for us who is the victim and who is not!!! We hope that one day South Africa will have credible journalists who aren’t used as tools for certain agendas!! Many of you owe me an apology for the lies you keep spreading about me but don’t worry even if you never apologise, I’m fine… I will continue what I’ve started, it’s not my fight but it’s a fight for South Africans to still have a place in their own country and even after they are gone that our children can still have something left to enjoy in their own country‼️‼️

@AdriaanBasson @SakhiNxumalo They can send all the white media bullies to drag my name, I don’t care!!! We will not keep quiet anymore

‼️ Over 8,000 illegal migrants are reportedly staying in a flat meant to house just 180 people, raising serious concerns about overcrowding and safety.

The KwaZulu-Natal SAPS has granted official approval to March and March for the peaceful demonstration on June 30th. 🇿🇦

@Nkulerrrh @HomeAffairsSA How? If the parent doesn't even have PR status?

[Ivyn Sambo @IvynSambo]

Guys, as ActionSA in Gauteng, we can reveal that the Department of Economic Development does not know of any Spaza Shop owner in Gauteng who has been funded from the R500 million Spaza Shop Support Fund.

This means either no one was funded in Gauteng, or the Department of Small Business Development does not want to share information with the provincial government.

South Africa should not stop fighting.

A Gentle Reminder:

Presidents, Ministers, Members of Parliament, Councillors and all public representatives are your servants. They exist solely to represent your interests as citizens. We are your “leaders” simply because you elected us to be in positions of authority. Truth of the matter is, the ultimate leaders in a society are the people.

The people delegate their power to a few to be in decision making bodies like Municipal Councils and Parliament. That doesn’t change the fact that the people in these positions are given power by the people and must exercise that public power in a manner that advances the interests of the people and must always be answerable to the public.

When we go to the elections in November, remember to vote for your SERVANTS. Do not vote for BOSSES that do not sympathise with your struggles and view something as a problem only when it affects them personally.
